This week has been a fabulous cross section out of my so-called life. It's had a sampling of most of the normal stuff I do, which is totally boring most of the time and yet awesome at others.
Among other things, this past week I have so far:
*managed to feed my family for 4 days after the groceries ran out
*read a year's worth of issues of Midwifery Today
*got behind on and subsequently caught up with the laundry
*had my shirt used as a Kleenex
*joined the world of parenting children with allergies
*purchased in my lone trip to the store a bag of candy corn, box of non sterile gloves, and 2 large bottles of children's Benadryl (notice, no actual groceries purchased, despite the fact we were starving to death)
*destinkified cloth diapers
*made a pin cushion that looks like a cupcake
*discovered that I like running, even though my knees don't like me afterward
*helped a friend blow up a kiddie pool in the driveway after dark, using 2 very low powered air compressors running off car battery
*watched a horribly depressing movie because my husband wanted to, even though I knew I would have nightmares later
*crocheted 7 hats
*attended the birth of a scrumptiously chubby baby
*paid a friend with pizza for answering my text at 4:50 am and babysitting my kids on short notice so I could attend said birth
*giggled like a teenager when I had to discreetly tell my hubby to "XYZ" from across a room full of people, during Bible study with our home fellowship group
*fell in love with my kids all over again when they did undeniably cute things
*purchased meal plans and a shopping list for a week's worth of meals (I'll let you know how that goes, if I ever make it to the grocery store...)
*started planning a birthday party that is THIS SATURDAY.
It's pretty obvious I'm majorly behind on my domestic duties, no? I should probably go do something...

I can't believe your non medicated, home birthed, breastfed baby ended up with a food allergy after all. boo! ;)
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to hear about the meal plan. I've looked at several but doubted how useful they would really be.
yep, I want to hear about the meal plan, too. I have friends that subscribe to them, and I've been interested to see if one would work for us. Let me know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteI am interested in the meal plan too.
ReplyDeleteDoes it include you coming to my house and preparing it and then cleaning it all up afterwards? :) If so, I'm all in!
Your sitter got paid really well. I just pay mine with milk :)
